I’m talking through this thing that sounded super weird to me (Who puts brown gravy on small hard cookies?! How on earth is that a dish on a cooking competition?! Why do they think that the guy putting the brown gravy on meat instead was the crazy one?!), and I’m understanding more, partly with your help (thank you), but every time I express something in British English that I understand you tell me I’m wrong, which is less fun.
It’s a different dialect dude, allow me my own usage and terminology.
“It’s crazy how Brits call anything in a bowl after main course a pudding! Cake? Pudding. Yoghurt? Pudding. Chocolate mousse? Pudding. If they have a spoon in their hand, they’re probably gonna call it pudding, pudding or not!” - better. Now we’re both having fun.
There’s dialect and then there’s “no, that’s not what that word means.” I’m not telling you it’s wrong to call several different things pudding, I’m pointing out that it’s kinda weird not to just extend that acceptance to gravy when someone describes something from their culture.
I don’t think you should get to be particular, considering how you treat the word “pudding”.

You want your feelings hurt look up Yorkshire Pudding.
I don’t have to look it up. I have Yorkshire puddings most Sundays!
